Augusta Museum of History

Just learning about the history of Augusta and surrounding area would be plenty, but you also get a great history of the sport of golf, and a tribute to the "hardest working man in show business", James Brown!!! There is so much on display, and how it is laid out brings surprises at each corner. Some of the displays are interactive. My photos try to capture the most significant things, but certainly not all. There is also a self-guided audio tour that can be accessed using your smartphone.

This place was really nice for $5 a person. Like definitely underpriced for how much you get out of the museum. But this place is so nice and has so much to look at. I loved the little artifacts about James Brown, I had no clue he was from Augusta Georgia. Yeah anyways definitely stop by this place

I really enjoyed this museum. Great history of Augusta, a cool James Brown exhibit, and a wonderful room showcasing the history of golf. I would definitely recommend stopping by for a couple of hours if you are in town.

I thought this was a fantastic museum, with well thought out exhibits covering everything Augusta from the first settlers (15,000 years ago) to more current luminaries.

I love to go to the annual gingerbread house display. You can bid on the gingerbread houses, and the money goes towards the museum. I’ve won several throughout the years and always am happy to drive from Aiken to pick them up. I will say that if you decide to bid on one, be prepared to rush over at the last minute. They will call you and expect you to be there that day regardless. I still enjoy having the smell of gingerbread throughout the house. I’ve only been through the actual museum once, and it did seem informative and have interesting facts about Augusta. The museum is not free, but the gingerbread house displays are free.
